Simple Ways to Increase Positive Thinking

I’m positive I’ve written about postive thinking before, but is that just positive thinking? I watch social media closely and it’s my job to share some of the hot topics on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and other outlets that teachers, principals, students, and parents are contributing.

The chart below, shared by We Are Teachers, is a guide to positive thinking and was shared like crazy on Twitter. And it’s easy to see why! With simple changes in thinking and speaking, you can increase your own and your student’s growth mindset. This advice works for students, teachers, and everyone else.

Can you think of any other ways to increase positive thinking? What effects do you think this will have on students or people in general? How will this help someone’s growth mindset?

I have the most awesome students that I have ever had in twenty five years of teaching. Retirement was sounding good. After having this class, I know why I chose to be a teacher. Be patient and love your students. They are the ones that will make decisions in our future.
